Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is stored as discrete events time stamps. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time stamp, a keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising filtering the set of time-stamped events using the time component, wherein said filtering identifies particular events of the set of time-stamped events associated with a timestamp specified by the time component.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising executing the first command line operation on one or more additional sets of time-stamped events to produce a plurality of result data, wherein the set of time-stamped events and the one or more additional sets of time-stamped events correspond to different time frames.
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising parsing the time-series machine data to produce the set of time-stamped events, wherein each event from the set of time-stamped events includes a portion of the time-series machine data.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data source is a server.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the time-series machine data reflects transaction activity in the information technology environment.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the time-series machine data reflects recorded measurements.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein each event in the set of time-stamped events includes a portion of the time-series machine data.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the result data reflects a performance aspect of the information technology environment.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the result data reflects a security aspect of the information technology environment.
15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 11, wherein the time-series machine data reflects transaction activity in the information technology environment.
20. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein the time-series machine data reflects transaction activity in the information technology environment.
